Such a perfect place for us! Our suite had everything we needed. We enjoyed having the kitchenette so we could eat our breakfasts early before starting our day. We loved getting exercise walking into town. Our dips in the hot tub most evenings were a great day to unwind. Wonderful staff!

We love Buffalo Mountain Lodge but the biggest perk is the charm of the vaulted ceiling premier rooms. Upon arrival, we were told we got a "free upgrade" to a premium plus room. This ended up being on the ground level and did not have any of the charm or appeal of the room we booked. I called to ask to switch back since this did not match our booking and they were unable to meet our request. Very disappointing.

Our stay at Buffalo Mountain Lodge was beyond excellent. The view was great, the service was better, and the room we stayed at was just the best. We stayed in the 2-Queen Premiere and it had easy access to nature just by the back door. It was clean and everything was easy to use. We ran some problems with the billing at check out because of the bank but the staff was very understanding, friendly, and accommodating to our needs and necessities. Completely professional and respectful throughout the whole ordeal. If I have a recommendation tho, it would be that I would appreciate better allocation of parking spots for guests. However, it was understandable because we stayed at a high demand time over a long weekend. Overall, I would certainly stay here again and bring my friends and family over.

The front staff that checked us in was rude and very unwelcoming. I don’t leave reviews ever but when you deal with a little racist you must make people aware. The smirk on her face too needs to be checked. Otherwise, the space was immaculate

Really nice hotel. Little out of town but there is a convenient bus available if you don't want to walk. Cosy clean rooms with everything you need. Would be nice in winter when you could have a fire! Staff at the hotel really helpful, restaurant and bar great! We got a fairly reasonable price, but I do think some of the top prices are too high in comparison to other accommodation we have stayed in. Little too expensive!

Mountaineer Lodge rooms are spacious and well-equipped with microwave and mini-fridge in rooms, large clawfoot tubs, good quality linens and towels. Any requests were filled promptly and delivered to our room. Lodge is in a very convenient location--near enough to downtown Banff to access all the shops and restaurants, yet set far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Our only drawback was the electricity went out briefly our last night and the next morning there was no hot water. No hot showers or shaving before checking out.

Unfortunately my husband ended up in a wheelchair just before checking in. This property is not very wheelchair accessible. The staff was very good and found us a ground floor room for the 2nd - 4th night which was better. Parking was horrendous. There is not enough parking consequently you have to park far away from your unit most times. They should have assigned parking spots. Again, with a wheelchair this was difficult. The heating didn't seem to work very well. We did not go to the restaurant - to difficult to get there. We did order room service for breakfast which was overpriced.

객실이 생각보다 넓었으며 분위기 있고 편안했습니다. 거실에 있는 벽난로는 나무와 불쏘시개가 구비되어 잘 가동이 되었고 운치을 돋구는데 한몫했습니다. 밴프로 누가 여행을 간다면 추천할 만한 숙소였습니다.
